Mini Oreo & Peanut Butter Brownies

These mini Oreo and peanut butter brownies make a lovely decadent treat for your sweet tooth. You will fall for their strong cocoa flavor and the creamy frosting on top.

For this recipe, I got inspired by the wonderful Sally’s baking addiction, a blog I have been following since her beginnings and that I absolutely love for its sweet recipes that always make me drool in front of the photos. She happens to be crazy about peanut butter and so I am, so I’d like to dedicate my new recipe – mini Oreo & peanut butter brownies – to you, Sally.

I actually created this recipe after trying two of Sally’s recipes that I really loved. I made a mix of the 2 recipes, added some Oreo cookies, and cut down on the frosting. Since I like eating sweet things and I don’t want to feel guilty about it, I baked the recipe into mini brownies. You’ve got to love them!

Recipe type: Sweet treats

Yield: 12-15 servings

Ingredients

For the mini brownies:

60g butter

120g dark chocolate

120g sugar

2 large eggs

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

40g all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon salt

6 Oreo cookies (or 12 mini Oreo cookies)

For the peanut butter frosting:

60g slightly salted butter

65g creamy peanut butter

4 tablespoons icing sugar

1 tablepoon chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Melt butter and dark chocolate in a saucepan on medium heat, stirring constantly.

Stir in the sugar and the eggs into the mixture, one at a time and whisking vigorously after each one, to prevent the eggs from cooking. Add the vanilla and whisk again. Then gently fold in the flour and salt.

While the mini Oreo brownies are baking, prepare the peanut butter frosting layer. Cream the butter and peanut butter with a stand mixer until completely smooth (tip: you can soften the butter and peanut butter 15 seconds in the microwave if they are too hard). Slowly mix in the icing sugar.

Once the mini brownies are done, allow them to cool completely (about 45 minutes). Finally, top them with the peanut butter frosting and add some chocolate chips for decoration.
